Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte announced his intention to resign on Tuesday, as a political crisis rumbles on in Rome that could eventually lead to new elections.
Conte has been under pressure since one of the country's deputy prime ministers — Matteo Salvini, who leads the right-wing Lega party —earlier this month. Salvini declared the populist coalition government unworkable and called for a no-confidence vote in Conte.
He also accused Salvini of showing "grave contempt for Parliament" and putting Italy at risk for a "dizzying spiral of political and financial instability" in the months ahead by creating an unnecessary crisis. " has shown that he is following his own interests and those of his party," Conte told the packed Senate, according to the news agency. "His decisions pose serious risks for this country."
